High Ranking
William McFee, New England au
thor, will discuss “The Sordid Side
of Literature,” as the second speaker
in the Summer Session lecturcis’ pro
gram in Schwab auditorium at 7 o’-
clock Thursday night.
Concluding a historical discussion
of American poetry, Hervey Allen,
the first speaker, explained some pres
ent <lay tendencies m poets and poet
ry, last night. With Robert Frost,
probably America’s outstanding poet
today, and T. S Eliot, leader m mod
ern poetry, as subjects, Mr. Allen ex
plained the contrast between the two.
In the preceding talks, the speaker
developed early American poetry
chronologically from its first stages.
His first lecture dealt with the period
before the Revolution
Praises Pinckney
“Philip Fienau was the first to
view an American background aes
thetically in his ‘lndian Burial
Ground,"’ Mr Allen said “It is the
first attempt at romanticism in
America.”
Following the revolution, there de
veloped a vacant period m poetic cre
ation which existed until the signing
of the Constitution, he said In Bal
timore, Edward C Pinckney was the
outstanding member of a poetic
group which is famous in history.
Pinckney was the best lyric poet
America pioduced before Edgar Allen
Poe, according to the visitor. His
“Voyagers’ Song,” dealing with the
quest for the fountain of youth,
stands high in early American poetry
Poe Influenced France
t " ‘Thanatopsis,’ youthful and clear
cut, is to ,be marked as the next mile
stone m 'American poetry,” Mr. Allen
said , ShortljMattcr, ‘Snowbound’ rep
resents an American type of culture
ctnanuting from New England. "Po
etic utterances express the culture
of their period,” the speaker pointed
out m passing.
A copyright law which compelled
publishers to pay American authors
loyalties while no fees were charged
for the use of English books "was
shown to be detrimental to American
writing in the early nineteenth cen
tuiy. American books were seldom
published, since English novols of
